Folks,All the frames I’m interested in at the moment – like the ICAN FL1 – feature fully integrated cockpits. I’m wondering if it is possible to set them up with externally routed hoses/cables and a separate bar and stem? If it is possible, how much work, hassle and/or extra parts is needed to achieve it? Is it as simple as finding (or 3D printing) a clever bottom spacer that lets you run the hoses and cables into the frame through the head tube?

Hi,As a relative newcomer to TPU tubes, I need some technical advice regarding correct sizing. Specifically the width of the tube I should use for my tyre. I am riding a 27.5 diameter 1.5 inch wide Maxxis Detonator tires,which my digital calipers measure at 40 mm fully inflated. And I have sourced some BAENT brand TPU tubes off AliExpress that described as 27.5 x 1.25/1.75. They seem fine so far.
